Charlton manager Alan Curbishley has called on the rest of the squad to take the pressure off striker Darren Bent.The 21-year-old has enjoyed an explosive start to his first Premiership season following a £2.5million summer switch from Ipswich. He began with seven goals in as many games and will be regarded by Portsmouth as the man to watch when the two clubs meet at Fratton Park.Bent, who has been an unused substitute in the last two England squads, was less effective in 1-1 draw with Fulham on Monday, however, but Curbishley insisted other players should help to take the pressure off the youngster. He said: "Obviously he has raced off and had a fantastic start but we have been saying we need to get goals from other areas."
